A Little Prayer Let us be thankful, Lord, for little things -The song of birds, the rapture of the rose;Cloud-dappled skies, the laugh of limpid springs,Drowned sunbeams and the perfume April blows;Bronze wheat a-shimmer, purple shade of trees -Let us be thankful, Lord of Life, for these!Let us be praiseful, Sire, for simple sights; -The blue smoke curling from a fire of peat;Keen stars a-frolicking on frosty nights,Prismatic pigeons strutting in a street;Daisies dew-diamonded in smiling sward -For simple sights let us be praiseful, Lord!Let us be grateful, God, for health serene,The hope to do a kindly deed each day;The faith of fellowship, a conscience clean,The will to worship and the gift to pray;For all of worth in us, of You a part,Let us be grateful, God, with humble heart.- Robert William Service
